Abstract
We report on the first comprehensive numerical simulation of a space weathe r event, starting with the generation of a CME and subsequently following t his transient solar wind disturbance as it evolves into a magnetic cloud an d travels through interplanetary space towards Earth where its interaction with the terrestrial magnetosphere-ionosphere system is also predicted as p art of the simulation.
